The Black Shearling Coat — Timeless Craft
Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
Softly sculpted from luxury-grade black shearling, this coat carries the quiet grandeur of true winter dressing. Warm without weight, luminous without effort, it drapes with the kind of intention that only natural fur can hold.
This is the coat you reach for in St. Moritz before the slopes fill, or for those early-January Aspen mornings when the mountain air is clear and unbothered. A silhouette that belongs just as easily on the Glacier Express between Zermatt and St. Moritz as it does walking home after a long dinner in the mountains.
Full-length for presence, short for ease — each version balances structure and softness, designed to layer over tailoring or cashmere and to age with quiet character. The kind of piece you repair, keep, and pass forward. And the short one? Slip it over your Pilates set on the way out of Lifetime — the sort of effortless grace thats intentional, even when you’re not trying.
Like all Aelse essentials, it’s crafted for legacy — not seasons.

Crafted On-Demand
Each coat is made to order in our dedicated leather atelier, a workshop known for its slow, considered approach to craft. Producing only what we need minimizes waste and ensures each piece receives the attention it deserves.
This is the only shearling coat in our collection finished with this specific grade of fur — chosen for warmth, longevity, and the patina it develops with time. A coat meant to stay, wear after wear.
Quality Assurance
Every coat undergoes two independent inspections before leaving the atelier, ensuring consistency of drape, density, and finish.
